Today we’d like to introduce you to Keith Thompson.
Hi Keith, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
At the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, I was laid off from my job as an Athletic Director. At a time when the whole world was still, I was moved to follow my true passion for performance training. With my sports background and experience, I wanted to give young athletes the chance and opportunity to become great at their sport. When I started posting my videos, the parents of my very first client loved what I do and wanted me to train their son. After knowing my skills and experience from college and working in the athletic field, more and more people saw what I do and wanted the same thing. This is when Flex Speed performance was born. It started with only 3 – 4 clients in the year of 2020. And now in 2022, we have about 30+ and growing every day. I love to see the growth of something I just started two years ago! By the start of next year, we are expecting to have over 50+ clients.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The struggle I faced was definitely the beginning of starting flex speed performance. Getting your name out there in the world is always hard and always a process. Another struggle is the high and low times of your business. You have to be prepared and ready so your business does not fall behind.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Flex Speed performance helps athletes become better and faster at their sport. We help all sports. Such as football, soccer, basketball, track and field, baseball, tennis, etc. We specialize in speed and agility, footwork, mobility and balance, change of direction, physical training, and youth training. Everyone knows us for helping athletes get to the next level by gaining speed. What sets us apart from the other trainers is that we travel to you and we offer 1 on 1 training so you can get everything out of each session. We don’t do group training because we want to make sure you are getting your money worth out of every session. 1 on 1 training is the best way to make sure you are getting everything that you need. Our Speed performance plan is what we are very excited for. This plan is digital and you can do it in the comfort of your own home. This will help our athletes that are all around the world that are looking to train with us but can’t come to South Florida. This plan helps all sports and all ages.
What matters most to you? Why?
Helping athletes achieve a potential that they didn’t think they had. They are some athletes that are naturally gifted and some are not. But that does not mean you can’t reach the same potential they are at with hard work. That is what matters to me the most. Hard work can get you anywhere. You just have to want it.
